Dimenche de Lyon

Dimenche de Lyon (1149-1187) was an Antiochene noble, the adoptive son of Reynald of Chatillon.

History
Actively disloyal, dutifully religious, and an aspiring commander, Dimenche of Lyon was a promising candidate for the House of Auvergne, whose very distant grandchild Bohemond of Poitiers had become the Prince of Antioch. Dimenche was violent, with a large dread aura around him, and he was not well-liked by other crusaders. However, Reynald of Chatillon related to him and took him in as a son. Dimenche de Lyon supported his father’s campaigns and fought at Montgisard in 1177 and Hattin in 1187. Along with his father, he was executed by Sultan Saladin for his cruelty towards Muslims.
